More Star Trek technology becomes fact.

Scientists in Tel Aviv have created a laser that can seal wounds by bonding the skin together rather than using stitches. This new technology, much like the technology seen in Star Trek, is being used on Israeli patients with much success. There is an amazing video at http://dvice.com/archives/2009/02/doctors_demo_st.php demonstrating the procedure. Just another example of how Gene Rodenberry’s fiction is becoming fact.

Wolf, not to knock your discovery but back in '95 while having some cosmetic sugery done due to body developing scars all the time they used a laser to close up the work done.

Whatever the case, back in' 95 or in '09 that's pretty cool ;)

Well, yes, but I gathered that this breakthrough in Tel Aviv is the current continuation of the initial tech from '95. I mean, I've always figured that the medical community around the world is continually reworking and continuing the advances and any past works in the Medical field or what have you. Otherwise, just as one example, people would still be wearing eyeglasses instead of having the contact lens option or even laser eye surgery.

 

I'm with Chell - that's pretty cool overall.
